Jeff strode or Schroeder from our 26 00:02:57,48 --> 00:03:04,18 accounting firm already. Is here tonight to answer any questions 27 00:03:04,92 --> 00:03:05,29 you all have 28 00:03:05,30 --> 00:03:12,13 a copy of the orange and. Jeff good evening. 29 00:03:14,27 --> 00:03:19,94 I will try to be brief to see you recognize most of the places only most of you 30 00:03:20,04 --> 00:03:25,85 have heard this presentation for. Finding this year's audit was 31 00:03:25,86 --> 00:03:31,04 a very routine audit from our perspective. We had. 32 00:03:33,80 --> 00:03:39,99 A fairly easy time with performing our procedures everything worked fairly much the 33 00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:46,91 way we expected our report. That you got in front of you starts out with 34 00:03:46,92 --> 00:03:53,00 an explanation of. The responsibility of the financial statements rests with the 35 00:03:53,01 --> 00:03:58,52 city and that my responsibility is the auditor is to issue an opinion on whether or 36 00:03:58,53 --> 00:04:01,84 not those financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with the accounting 37 00:04:01,85 --> 00:04:07,25 principles and it goes on to explain what standards we had here too while we were 38 00:04:07,26 --> 00:04:13,02 conducting our audit goes on to explain that the city prepares their financial 39 00:04:13,03 --> 00:04:15,49 statements on the modified cash basis which is 40 00:04:15,50 --> 00:04:19,16 a departure from generally accepted accounting principles but is more commonly used 41 00:04:19,17 --> 00:04:25,30 with smaller entities and statements. It goes on to explain that it is our opinion 42 00:04:25,45 --> 00:04:29,22 that these financial statements are fairly stated in all winter respects in 43 00:04:29,23 --> 00:04:34,13 accordance with cash basis. It goes on to explain that there is some supplementary 44 00:04:34,14 --> 00:04:38,89 information that's included in the report that's in addition to the basic financial 45 00:04:38,90 --> 00:04:43,12 statements and that we have applied procedures to those statements as well and that 46 00:04:43,13 --> 00:04:47,22 we also believe that they are fairly stated in relation to the financial statements 47 00:04:48,23 --> 00:04:52,14 it also explains that we've conducted our audit in accordance with government on 48 00:04:52,15 --> 00:04:53,58 standards and there's 49 00:04:53,59 --> 00:04:59,92 a separate report that that's included to discuss those matters to conduct an audit 50 00:04:59,93 --> 00:05:06,15 in accordance with government stands we have two octane anough of an understanding 51 00:05:06,16 --> 00:05:10,11 of how the internal controls work over how the financial information is put 52 00:05:10,12 --> 00:05:13,34 together to be able to prepare financial statements we have to have an 53 00:05:13,35 --> 00:05:17,09 understanding of how that all works to be able to properly plan and conduct the 54 00:05:17,10 --> 00:05:21,82 audit. We don't actually issue an opinion on those internal controls but in 55 00:05:21,83 --> 00:05:25,03 accordance with those standards if we find anything that we would consider to be 56 00:05:25,04 --> 00:05:28,93 there is significant deficiency or material weakness we would report them to you in 57 00:05:28,94 --> 00:05:35,20 this report. The report goes on to explain that we did not find any weaknesses that 58 00:05:35,24 --> 00:05:40,59 we were required to report also in accordance with those standards we're looking at 59 00:05:40,60 --> 00:05:45,45 the city's compliance with various laws and regulations contracts Duran agreements 60 00:05:45,97 --> 00:05:51,19 anything that's financial in nature and that we also had no instances of 61 00:05:51,20 --> 00:05:57,72 noncompliance to be reported so this is basically an unqualified opinion the new 62 00:05:57,73 --> 00:06:00,03 terminology is an unmodified opinion now it's 63 00:06:00,04 --> 00:06:04,39 a clean opinion and that's the one that everybody's looking for. The financial 64 00:06:04,40 --> 00:06:09,25 statements themselves I usually don't spend much time going over those because I 65 00:06:09,26 --> 00:06:12,88 know you're familiar with the financial statements reviewing the financial reports 66 00:06:12,89 --> 00:06:19,14 as well as you go throughout the year. My recollection was we had very few 67 00:06:19,91 --> 00:06:25,48 adjustments that we proposed during the course of our work that those financial 68 00:06:25,49 --> 00:06:31,02 statements were materially in line before we even started our work so I know that's 69 00:06:31,03 --> 00:06:37,55 why you're you're familiar with those numbers already. Then I said the remainder of 70 00:06:37,56 --> 00:06:39,81 the report is a supplementary schedules 71 00:06:39,82 --> 00:06:44,99 a lot of more detail information about how those numbers were developed and the 72 00:06:45,00 --> 00:06:50,45 very interesting reading. Normally at the end of the report is where we would have 73 00:06:50,46 --> 00:06:56,14 our findings and recommendations and suggestions and this year we have none to 74 00:06:56,15 --> 00:06:59,13 report so that makes my job 75 00:06:59,14 --> 00:07:04,61 a little bit easier at this time of the audit so. Like I said it was from our 76 00:07:04,62 --> 00:07:05,15 perspective 77 00:07:05,16 --> 00:07:11,49 a very routine audit things went very smoothly and. That's the nutshell version of 78 00:07:11,50 --> 00:07:17,44 what's in that report. You know I'd like to go in into more detail if anybody has 79 00:07:17,45 --> 00:07:23,16 any question. About there. But or if anybody just hasn't questions about what we 80 00:07:23,17 --> 00:07:28,06 were doing while we were here or how the audit progressed I'd be glad try to answer 81 00:07:28,07 --> 00:07:34,99 any questions at all. Mr. I do think when you're in 82 00:07:35,11 --> 00:07:40,23 Washington we want to. Play right into your home and she. 83 00:07:44,70 --> 00:07:45,94 Sued is is 84 00:07:46,44 --> 00:07:51,34 a big part of the work that we're dealing with as well as several others with the 85 00:07:51,35 --> 00:07:53,88 city but she makes our job 86 00:07:53,89 --> 00:07:59,30 a lot easier and I like to pass that on when that's the case when my clients make 87 00:07:59,31 --> 00:08:05,68 our job easier I don't say that just because of the fact that you know I obviously 88 00:08:05,69 --> 00:08:12,31 like you know my job easier but it creates accountability for the city on how the 89 00:08:12,32 --> 00:08:16,98 money's been handled and that's the ultimate goal of my job easier if you have 90 00:08:16,99 --> 00:08:20,73 accountability so in the count abilities of what the ultimate goal is. 91 00:08:24,90 --> 00:08:29,34 That since we've been doing this for several years the video is so good don't we 92 00:08:29,35 --> 00:08:34,70 should we give this. I'll talk to the senior. 93 00:08:37,03 --> 00:08:40,75 Maybe. You. Know give me 94 00:08:40,76 --> 00:08:46,66 a discount I'm going to. Say more. Or less here. 95 00:08:47,74 --> 00:08:54,63 Bring any questions anybody. Thank you all. Very 96 00:08:54,64 --> 00:09:01,05 well so we give nice job and then everybody else more. Or by gives involved. 97 00:09:02,42 --> 00:09:04,87 Thank you. Thank you very Do you have. 98 00:09:09,96 --> 00:09:16,95 To try again. And I tend to go on the board of. Ways 99 00:09:16,96 --> 00:09:23,14 to strike. It. Means that I go through. 100 00:09:24,59 --> 00:09:29,66 What transpires. Last I was approached by 101 00:09:29,67 --> 00:09:36,29 a citizen who expects concern over the fact that you know they're no longer making 102 00:09:36,66 --> 00:09:42,80 marketing incandescent light bulbs and that every vote will either be complex that 103 00:09:42,80 --> 00:09:48,96 . Whatever technologies down the road. Had to do with 104 00:09:49,06 --> 00:09:55,74 disposal of the compact fluorescent because they contain some mercury it's. 105 00:09:58,90 --> 00:10:00,19 I don't think that there's 106 00:10:00,32 --> 00:10:06,45 a consensus on how much and. How dangerous that is but I know that 107 00:10:06,49 --> 00:10:13,14 he retailers of large retailers Lowe's and Home Depot such you're. Doing 108 00:10:13,15 --> 00:10:19,93 a trade and bringing in for recycling and it. Is making recycling 109 00:10:20,33 --> 00:10:27,23 those bulbs part of their program and in cities in the St Louis area. So 110 00:10:27,81 --> 00:10:33,20 I spoke to the county commission we talked about whether we could go find out what 111 00:10:33,29 --> 00:10:37,96 is involved in this and approach the solid waste district perhaps in their next 112 00:10:37,97 --> 00:10:43,29 grant cycle which is next year. Purchasing whatever is needed in order to have 113 00:10:44,04 --> 00:10:50,11 a recycling program for for those. Bulbs over the years 114 00:10:51,11 --> 00:10:57,41 I've emailed citizens electric to see if they have any intention of undertaking 115 00:10:57,42 --> 00:11:03,98 a program A similar to that which is and I think when we talk to 116 00:11:04,73 --> 00:11:11,26 a board member of the recycling center about their participation I think. Making 117 00:11:11,59 --> 00:11:17,90 the retailers do can't. It's in the interest of everyone. 118 00:11:18,50 --> 00:11:25,45 That we facilitate. The recycling of these bulbs so I'll let you know what comes 119 00:11:25,46 --> 00:11:32,04 out of that. Thing for you to act upon but it's going to. Cooperation among the 120 00:11:32,10 --> 00:11:38,13 various parties. The. We applied for an engineering design Grant. 121 00:11:40,32 --> 00:11:47,04 To design the water system or improvements which we've already covered in which you 122 00:11:47,05 --> 00:11:53,35 have approved retaining. And we have not executed that contract because we became 123 00:11:53,36 --> 00:11:58,34 aware of the fact that grant funds might be available contract it's executed before 124 00:11:58,38 --> 00:12:05,17 Grant is awarded is not eligible for funding. And has worked with us on submitting 125 00:12:05,18 --> 00:12:11,51 this grant and we were informed. This week that. The city. 126 00:12:13,58 --> 00:12:18,83 Is eligible for funding and we we can given some consideration although the amount 127 00:12:19,18 --> 00:12:24,16 of the award has been revealed. You know as 128 00:12:24,17 --> 00:12:29,23 a pot of money so big and so many people wanting it and the director of the 129 00:12:29,24 --> 00:12:34,40 department has to decide how to allocate it so but that's nice to know something 130 00:12:34,41 --> 00:12:40,31 that we we needed to do and we were going to pursue is going to be done with some 131 00:12:40,85 --> 00:12:46,69 assistance through state grant funding. We had the first meeting of the landmark 132 00:12:46,70 --> 00:12:52,91 committee it's going to look at the codes in the design guidelines. Alderman Ross 133 00:12:52,92 --> 00:12:57,34 was there the mayor was there I don't want to speak for them so I'm going to let 134 00:12:57,35 --> 00:13:04,25 them in the Shauna was was there I mean let the mayor speak about what happened. I 135 00:13:04,26 --> 00:13:07,72 think it was a good start good first meeting 136 00:13:07,73 --> 00:13:14,13 a lot of ideas were thrown out there along with Sean and and Terry Frank 137 00:13:14,39 --> 00:13:20,87 ROFF from the president of the chairman of Landmark's was there and also Fred Mars 138 00:13:20,91 --> 00:13:21,19 who's 139 00:13:21,20 --> 00:13:26,88 a member of Landmark's. I think we've got some good ideas out I there will be some 140 00:13:26,89 --> 00:13:33,27 changes we're going to meet again here in another week and to try to start 141 00:13:34,06 --> 00:13:39,30 narrowing some of those ideas down. There will be some changes to landmarks 142 00:13:39,31 --> 00:13:43,53 ordinance I fear are that any way that that committee I'm sure will say yes to this 143 00:13:43,54 --> 00:13:49,96 board. Can't really say exactly what those will be yet but I it will 144 00:13:50,60 --> 00:13:57,54 we want to try to make the process easier for people. And that's the goal of 145 00:13:57,55 --> 00:14:03,68 it and and and really try to focus on the ten my. 146 00:14:05,22 --> 00:14:10,97 Plan is to to really focus on the intent of what the landmarks ordinance or what I 147 00:14:10,98 --> 00:14:17,80 believe it stands for and what it is there to protect so. Again and 148 00:14:17,92 --> 00:14:19,14 I mean another me 149 00:14:19,15 --> 00:14:24,69 a week from tomorrow and I hope by sometime within the next maybe we want to two 150 00:14:24,70 --> 00:14:25,77 meetings we would have 151 00:14:25,78 --> 00:14:31,78 a plan allies and be able to bring some suggestions to this for. Sure we'd like to 152 00:14:31,79 --> 00:14:38,43 take them to the landmarks. Committee first or Landmarks Commission first and 153 00:14:38,94 --> 00:14:45,52 then to this for. Some good ideas out there and I think we can make some positive 154 00:14:45,53 --> 00:14:52,21 changes. You recall 155 00:14:52,22 --> 00:14:57,51 that we approached the insurance company on the street form of building and got 156 00:14:57,52 --> 00:15:04,46 some additional electrical work. The. Cost of gas from the fire 157 00:15:04,81 --> 00:15:05,22 was causing 158 00:15:05,23 --> 00:15:11,60 a Rosen in the area that we otherwise thought was not damage the office area and 159 00:15:11,61 --> 00:15:16,65 they recommended that we rewire that I sent the report to the insurance company 160 00:15:16,66 --> 00:15:21,76 they agreed that that would be an eligible expense so that work is underway and 161 00:15:21,77 --> 00:15:28,41 should be finishing up here pretty soon. The good news is that as of today. 162 00:15:29,57 --> 00:15:34,17 It appears that the insurance company is going to reimburse us for everything but 163 00:15:34,26 --> 00:15:39,42 our twenty five hundred dollar deductible there were as you recall some questions 164 00:15:39,76 --> 00:15:45,45 about well and seven hundred dollars for upgrading. The infrared eaters to make 165 00:15:45,46 --> 00:15:47,04 them a two stage heater instead of just 166 00:15:47,05 --> 00:15:53,79 a one stage heater. We and I'm pleased to report that we had some concerns 167 00:15:53,80 --> 00:15:58,97 that because we didn't you know replace it exactly as it was when it was damaged 168 00:15:58,98 --> 00:16:03,13 that there might be some charge backs but they're not doing that so we're going to 169 00:16:03,14 --> 00:16:07,88 get. It going to get insurance payment for everything we've done. 170 00:16:13,84 --> 00:16:16,31 I reported at our last meeting that we had 171 00:16:16,32 --> 00:16:22,90 a pool for the funds for the. Trail and park wood and the 172 00:16:22,94 --> 00:16:28,14 engineer reporter the day would be in the field as we wanted to start the surveying 173 00:16:28,15 --> 00:16:34,69 work whether. I don't know where they are today to see if they got there yesterday 174 00:16:35,58 --> 00:16:42,19 because that was another place but. I will board next. The cold may have prevented 175 00:16:42,20 --> 00:16:46,67 him from doing it I don't know that they're prepared to get it done as soon as the 176 00:16:46,68 --> 00:16:51,95 weather well. When you receive grandsons from. 177 00:16:54,04 --> 00:17:00,74 These days they were choir used to attend certain educational programs so that you 178 00:17:00,75 --> 00:17:06,04 cannot say after you received the money and spin it that you didn't know what you 179 00:17:06,05 --> 00:17:11,31 were supposed to do or how you were supposed to do it and there is processes that 180 00:17:11,32 --> 00:17:16,59 they have established that you have to follow so you have to get certified. Local 181 00:17:16,60 --> 00:17:22,15 public agency funding which And then they hold other training programs along the 182 00:17:22,16 --> 00:17:27,50 way that you need to attend and since this project it involves right of way 183 00:17:27,51 --> 00:17:29,78 acquisition. Tended 184 00:17:29,79 --> 00:17:33,35 a mandatory training program for that today and that's why I didn't know what the 185 00:17:33,36 --> 00:17:38,38 surveyors got there for that was at the training program. As you may imagine 186 00:17:39,18 --> 00:17:44,54 because of the amount of. Snow we've had we used up all of our salt. 187 00:17:47,44 --> 00:17:53,09 Days. Going to cover that probably better in his report than I can. But we're 188 00:17:53,10 --> 00:17:57,33 certainly going to be over budget and that line item which we will report to you 189 00:17:57,37 --> 00:17:57,68 will have 190 00:17:57,69 --> 00:18:04,78 a. Session. To do the budget amendments that after the 191 00:18:04,79 --> 00:18:11,69 smoke clears. The. We had better rewards solve our supplier the 192 00:18:11,70 --> 00:18:12,37 supplier that had 193 00:18:12,38 --> 00:18:17,82 a little bit when we did is out. Would didn't have any one to get any for 194 00:18:17,83 --> 00:18:24,69 a month. Well we couldn't we can. Not had any so we started checking 195 00:18:24,70 --> 00:18:28,49 around for other sources checked with other cities to see who their suppliers were 196 00:18:28,49 --> 00:18:34,18 . And we contacted each of those suppliers and there were really only one that had 197 00:18:34,19 --> 00:18:37,58 any salt was willing to deliver it to us and it's at 198 00:18:37,59 --> 00:18:43,52 a price that's. Fifty five percent of what was we had thirty five dollars it's on 199 00:18:43,72 --> 00:18:49,97 we didn't need it now that you need it it's eighty four dollars. Fifty five dollars 200 00:18:49,98 --> 00:18:51,73 a ton was delivered this has 201 00:18:51,74 --> 00:18:56,74 a delivery charge for breach truck so we're getting salt will have salt it's coming 202 00:18:56,75 --> 00:18:56,80 at 203 00:18:56,81 --> 00:19:02,30 a premium but it's the kind of thing you have to do and they certainly take advantage 204 00:19:02,31 --> 00:19:03,90 of you when they can so. 205 00:19:15,81 --> 00:19:17,70 The stuff first. 206 00:19:23,31 --> 00:19:25,53 Before standard starts I put 207 00:19:25,54 --> 00:19:30,98 a table this letter from Linda Wagner I don't discuss the cupboards and I just want 208 00:19:30,99 --> 00:19:35,19 you to have it she's basically asking for assistance with her legal defenses for 209 00:19:35,20 --> 00:19:40,22 people who are doing their. Taxes. 210 00:19:42,94 --> 00:19:46,45 All I know about is what I read in the letter as you now have it I will meet with 211 00:19:46,46 --> 00:19:50,33 her we'll talk about it I'll find out more details the order of magnitude and I'll 212 00:19:50,34 --> 00:19:54,72 bring it back when I have more information it's not an item that we budgeted so 213 00:19:54,97 --> 00:19:56,41 we've got to figure out what it is first. 214 00:20:03,79 --> 00:20:04,95 You have in front of us 215 00:20:04,96 --> 00:20:11,60 a few sheets that we were able to pull because we have finished up our calendar 216 00:20:11,61 --> 00:20:16,60 year data and it's you know if you're into data it's kind of exciting to see the 217 00:20:16,61 --> 00:20:22,90 whole year laid out there as you can see well as you noticed. Amber was just 218 00:20:22,91 --> 00:20:27,01 a wretched month weather wise we had the two snow weekends and the Saturday we had 219 00:20:27,29 --> 00:20:29,42 I don't know seemed like four inches of rain but it was like 220 00:20:29,43 --> 00:20:30,51 a tarantula downpour on 221 00:20:30,52 --> 00:20:34,64 a Saturday so I know all the shops and restaurants and so on have had 222 00:20:34,65 --> 00:20:41,60 a difficult time but fortunately even though we were. Thirty percent down 223 00:20:41,64 --> 00:20:47,37 in December we were increasingly each month during the fall we were beating the two 224 00:20:47,38 --> 00:20:51,56 thousand and twelve numbers and so we ended up the year and overall thirteen 225 00:20:51,57 --> 00:20:57,07 percent higher in calendar two thousand and thirteen than calendar two thousand and 226 00:20:57,08 --> 00:21:02,00 twelve I would have loved to have seen you know better numbers in December and seen 227 00:21:02,01 --> 00:21:06,52 where we could have really ended up at that's what we had to deal with. On the next 228 00:21:06,80 --> 00:21:12,34 you'll see the December figures for groups obviously we had no groups there were 229 00:21:12,35 --> 00:21:17,66 two that were scheduled and they did cancel we're trying to reschedule and then 230 00:21:17,67 --> 00:21:23,39 finally I included in your package. We had taken a we implemented 231 00:21:23,40 --> 00:21:30,05 a new process to collect all of the information on the official events from the St 232 00:21:30,06 --> 00:21:34,80 Genevieve area from the various independent committees that coordinate these events 233 00:21:35,05 --> 00:21:41,57 and asked anyone to get their information into us by. I think it was actually the 234 00:21:41,58 --> 00:21:46,80 middle of November where we were still getting those in as of the end of December 235 00:21:46,81 --> 00:21:48,17 and early January there are 236 00:21:48,18 --> 00:21:51,78 a few that are still out there but we've spoken to those individuals and asked them 237 00:21:51,79 --> 00:21:57,70 to submit their information for us because it just helps us promote their event if 238 00:21:57,71 --> 00:22:03,92 we've got the details on it things as simple as the date in our brochure we have 239 00:22:03,93 --> 00:22:08,22 flight you know the first Saturday in February is always the king's ball with that 240 00:22:08,93 --> 00:22:12,61 are sure is good for more than one year so we don't put the date in it on our 241 00:22:12,62 --> 00:22:17,52 website we have the dates and descriptions of everything so I wanted the alderman 242 00:22:17,53 --> 00:22:22,53 to have this you know if you have friends and family coming in. From out of town 243 00:22:22,54 --> 00:22:26,49 obviously tourism is not just about bringing people to St Genevieve you've never 244 00:22:26,50 --> 00:22:30,40 been here before if you were able to bring more people into 245 00:22:30,41 --> 00:22:36,06 a joy these events we certainly hope that you can help us promote this and support 246 00:22:36,07 --> 00:22:38,18 it. There's a kind of 247 00:22:38,19 --> 00:22:42,53 a fun event on February seventh the history of chocolate at the Boulder County this 248 00:22:42,54 --> 00:22:47,43 is an event that they have made arrangements for and if planned and it's something 249 00:22:47,44 --> 00:22:51,44 completely new and different it's on a Friday night and they have 250 00:22:51,45 --> 00:22:56,48 a representative from the Mars candy bar company coming in and they're going to 251 00:22:56,49 --> 00:23:00,36 talk about the history of chocolate I mean what greater thing to do and I'm sure 252 00:23:00,37 --> 00:23:03,49 they'll be samples of volves So if you have nothing to do on that Friday night 253 00:23:04,26 --> 00:23:05,76 please R.S.V.P. 254 00:23:05,77 --> 00:23:10,96 Back to the Boulder council I'm sure they'd love to have you. And so there were 255 00:23:10,97 --> 00:23:14,83 a couple of other things I wanted to point out recently at the last meeting I 256 00:23:14,84 --> 00:23:19,98 reported that I was going to be going to the American bus Association meeting in 257 00:23:19,99 --> 00:23:24,41 January and I did just come back from that last week myself and 258 00:23:24,42 --> 00:23:29,76 a representative from one of the local wineries went to that we are members of the 259 00:23:29,77 --> 00:23:35,44 St Louis Convention and Visitors commission at St Genevieve is collectively and so 260 00:23:35,45 --> 00:23:40,96 as we have an opportunity to get information about St Genevieve out to next year's 261 00:23:40,97 --> 00:23:41,44 A.B.A. 262 00:23:41,45 --> 00:23:47,70 Meeting which will be hosted in St Louis and this is.

Please stop by any day between nine and five and pick some up. 300 00:26:23,00 --> 00:26:28,31 Yeah. The floor beneath the board. There's 301 00:26:28,35 --> 00:26:32,50 a. Show. 302 00:26:35,54 --> 00:26:41,99 Off. Interest in the must have been written something 303 00:26:42,29 --> 00:26:48,92 or. You know where. Or where you are writing 304 00:26:49,22 --> 00:26:54,22 or. I'd like to get it because if we can keep it repeated here you can have it on 305 00:26:54,23 --> 00:26:58,19 our website the one that I do know what that's out there and that gets repeated 306 00:26:58,20 --> 00:27:02,52 sometimes is R F D T V They came here and filmed a session during 307 00:27:02,53 --> 00:27:08,37 a row here and it stays one fall and when that repeat hits are if the T.V. 308 00:27:08,38 --> 00:27:13,18 When they reschedule that our phone rings off and we get people from all over the 309 00:27:13,19 --> 00:27:16,71 country especially in the south to come here for her to stay as 310 00:27:16,72 --> 00:27:22,46 a result of that sort of thing. If you find out left now. And we have 311 00:27:22,47 --> 00:27:26,14 a commercial running in St Louis right now this was something that was paid for by 312 00:27:26,15 --> 00:27:31,61 the. Overnight botching tax the tourism tax commission we have 313 00:27:31,62 --> 00:27:38,13 a commercial running on Channel four in St Louis very sad times per day. I think 314 00:27:38,17 --> 00:27:41,30 when it runs we get twenty eight commercial center row within like 315 00:27:41,31 --> 00:27:46,93 a week period of time so that some in morning noon and evening dry evening news 316 00:27:46,94 --> 00:27:53,51 hour I should say. So you might hear about that that's something that has been paid 317 00:27:53,52 --> 00:27:57,96 for out of our tourism. Yet. 318 00:28:00,43 --> 00:28:07,32 We question. Who do. The value of the working relationship between the 319 00:28:07,33 --> 00:28:13,51 tourism Advisory Council the tourism tax going to show the visitors. I'd be happy 320 00:28:13,52 --> 00:28:20,38 to. And well when I came in and I met with them early on it had your 321 00:28:20,39 --> 00:28:25,83 suggestion and it seemed. Yes and. You know they tell me what they were interested 322 00:28:25,84 --> 00:28:31,67 in and I told them. What I could do and had it develops you know sort of 323 00:28:31,68 --> 00:28:36,75 a game plan in terms of what I felt were the important things to promote us as 324 00:28:36,76 --> 00:28:42,65 a destination and get people here for more overnights longer stay and just to 325 00:28:42,66 --> 00:28:47,25 support our events in general more often and from the very first meeting actually 326 00:28:47,26 --> 00:28:47,72 like we had 327 00:28:47,73 --> 00:28:54,62 a very positive for elation shared by. I I can't say that I had any 328 00:28:54,86 --> 00:28:59,73 struggles of any sort on the fact there's been times when they've asked me for 329 00:28:59,74 --> 00:29:00,91 a pole sole on 330 00:29:00,92 --> 00:29:05,70 a certain thing and I've given it to them and. They supported everything that we've 331 00:29:05,71 --> 00:29:10,90 tried to do so far. And I hope the honeymoon doesn't time Senator. 332 00:29:12,87 --> 00:29:14,28 Putting to put the calendar 333 00:29:14,29 --> 00:29:18,81 a bear on those folks who told underneath the. Begin the process of the 334 00:29:19,28 --> 00:29:26,22 organization of the clothing as we roll in order. To sort of say what you 335 00:29:26,23 --> 00:29:30,10 know but reporting various was sort of saying. That we don't have 336 00:29:30,11 --> 00:29:35,43 a good thing for what we've sort of those are soft to. Me and you can get our lives 337 00:29:35,44 --> 00:29:42,16 to go would take care of. What they stole that car what verb soul like me everybody 338 00:29:42,17 --> 00:29:43,96 razors so let people who are planning 339 00:29:43,97 --> 00:29:50,57 a new one they are in trouble on somebody else's. Everybody loses Yeah. Yeah I 340 00:29:50,58 --> 00:29:56,02 guess there. I'd certainly be willing to help you out where we could kind of take 341 00:29:56,03 --> 00:30:00,82 the forms that I've come up with for this purpose and maybe you know just try to 342 00:30:01,70 --> 00:30:05,04 gather all that information in one place maybe we can even put 343 00:30:05,05 --> 00:30:09,76 a separate page out there for fundraisers I mean it's not tourism per se but it 344 00:30:09,77 --> 00:30:12,31 certainly would be a good service and 345 00:30:12,32 --> 00:30:17,09 a certain service to those people who are trying to plan fundraisers so that like 346 00:30:17,10 --> 00:30:21,66 you said they don't want to inadvertently step on anyone's toes we're not. Not 347 00:30:21,67 --> 00:30:25,42 relative to fundraisers but the other kinds of events one of the things we talked 348 00:30:25,43 --> 00:30:32,32 about the last week or so is you know. As it happens every year but 349 00:30:32,52 --> 00:30:37,15 the loop the groups that organize it sometimes don't decide so we think it's 350 00:30:37,16 --> 00:30:41,85 a last minute when they're going to do it so getting advance notice sometimes his 351 00:30:41,86 --> 00:30:46,64 or. Her Well I think everyone so busy and this was just one of those things that 352 00:30:46,65 --> 00:30:50,41 helped you know they had to sit down and think about it and think OK Is that really 353 00:30:50,42 --> 00:30:55,70 the date they were going to do away. And actually commit to it on paper so maybe 354 00:30:55,71 --> 00:30:56,25 that's why it took 355 00:30:56,26 --> 00:30:59,38 a while for the forms to come in because it's hard to commit to that it didn't get 356 00:30:59,39 --> 00:30:59,92 people thinking 357 00:30:59,93 --> 00:31:06,19 a little bit. OK Thank you all right get in touch and I'll be happy to help. But. 358 00:31:19,00 --> 00:31:19,15 You know. 359 00:31:29,31 --> 00:31:32,86 They're. Going to go. 360 00:31:36,27 --> 00:31:42,32 He's full time now all he's done is doing training for image when program. 361 00:31:44,04 --> 00:31:49,71 My understanding is he has every intention of going to you know why. So well for 362 00:31:49,72 --> 00:31:56,09 weeks or so. I had one revision to the 363 00:31:57,09 --> 00:32:04,03 to the staffer for the Army officer Fisher he did come in yesterday. And her as 364 00:32:04,04 --> 00:32:09,78 a nation for the end of. Medical leave expires. 365 00:32:11,03 --> 00:32:17,92 Certainly as pleasant counters of circumstances where we certainly appreciate 366 00:32:17,93 --> 00:32:24,21 each misfortune for and the City support. It was in Florida and you know I assured 367 00:32:24,22 --> 00:32:30,87 him that the door would be open to the circumstances change in the future so. Sure 368 00:32:31,07 --> 00:32:37,52 sure sorry to see him go and then we'll watch. For you. 369 00:32:40,87 --> 00:32:41,66 And also we got 370 00:32:41,67 --> 00:32:47,67 a notification on our G me touch on this also. That you're under fire weather 371 00:32:47,68 --> 00:32:53,68 warning. To the community and I know. You're so 372 00:32:54,58 --> 00:32:59,05 we're going for tomorrow so I know. Open burning is really 373 00:32:59,06 --> 00:33:05,05 a question and. As usual but we received all of us from all of our new questions. 374 00:33:06,40 --> 00:33:10,51 And certainly you're going to try to. Try to burn anything you can with 375 00:33:10,52 --> 00:33:17,37 a permit for the next couple days certainly. In both 376 00:33:17,55 --> 00:33:20,67 cases it's over and yes it is almost a little issue 377 00:33:20,68 --> 00:33:26,41 a little bit slower. In terms. Of when. 378 00:33:28,09 --> 00:33:33,54 We will but if you can hear. Steve. 379 00:33:37,91 --> 00:33:43,22 Take a. Couple things or. Notice in 380 00:33:43,23 --> 00:33:49,74 a report there are zero residential meters looking system to be changed. They were 381 00:33:49,75 --> 00:33:56,56 all changed for the end of that and did last year. You guys worked hard through 382 00:33:56,95 --> 00:34:03,61 cold weather and rain and snow but they got them all changed out Steve's point. 383 00:34:04,63 --> 00:34:09,43 Was yes for those changed out to others no there's no meter installed in 384 00:34:09,44 --> 00:34:14,99 a boat staff's went around in and they have installed shuttle valves so they are 385 00:34:15,19 --> 00:34:16,53 fully capable and ready to take 386 00:34:16,54 --> 00:34:22,87 a meeting do you believe leaders Well yes there are. Roughly fifty. 387 00:34:26,02 --> 00:34:31,44 I guess but. It's. 388 00:34:37,72 --> 00:34:40,91 Those the ones that aren't changed are you at the six two inch and a one inch and 389 00:34:40,92 --> 00:34:47,64 a half. There from businesses that. You know some of them some of the restaurants 390 00:34:47,65 --> 00:34:51,48 in town kind of hard to get the show down there in the week we do have scheduled 391 00:34:51,49 --> 00:34:57,28 times to change those. And you know they'll be to be changed out of soon is. 392 00:34:58,45 --> 00:35:04,34 Available. Yes. You know 393 00:35:04,35 --> 00:35:10,20 a thing is. Last month there were sixty two disconnects for nonpayment. 394 00:35:11,81 --> 00:35:17,54 That's double our normal. Our normal disconnect. From. 395 00:35:19,12 --> 00:35:25,72 The Internet. You know thirty thirty five years you know some 396 00:35:26,48 --> 00:35:30,33 staff was very busy with it. And. 397 00:35:34,29 --> 00:35:41,07 The last two pages of the the water last for the year. Current will start off this 398 00:35:41,08 --> 00:35:46,01 one currently This year we're sixteen point seven percent water that's unaccounted 399 00:35:46,01 --> 00:35:47,62 water lost through 400 00:35:47,64 --> 00:35:54,37 a small leaks in the ground and metered building. Slowly slowly getting it down. 401 00:35:55,54 --> 00:35:59,46 In the last page if you look at that in two thousand and nine we had thirty eight 402 00:35:59,47 --> 00:36:06,07 percent water loss. In two thousand and ten you had thirty one two thousand and 403 00:36:06,08 --> 00:36:11,85 eleven you had twenty four percent two thousand and twenty. Two thousand and 404 00:36:11,86 --> 00:36:16,90 thirteen we had nineteen percent and in this year we are down to sixteen point 405 00:36:16,91 --> 00:36:23,65 seven. As we've discussed in the past the lower it goes is to get go if 406 00:36:24,04 --> 00:36:27,03 that's correct. You know 407 00:36:27,04 --> 00:36:33,41 a lot of this is metering on meter buildings. You know small leaks leaks that have 408 00:36:33,42 --> 00:36:39,86 just surfaced the meter change up program. And everything everything is added up in 409 00:36:39,86 --> 00:36:46,80 . The water loss continues to drop. On the water 410 00:36:46,81 --> 00:36:53,07 line. And. The water line for long and look for it 411 00:36:53,77 --> 00:37:00,52 to Typically we don't have had many breaks while it stays cold it's when the 412 00:37:00,53 --> 00:37:05,96 Falcons. Go. 413 00:37:07,88 --> 00:37:10,29 And no we we haven't had a we have had 414 00:37:10,30 --> 00:37:15,75 a main break since December second. In the. Atlanta momentum. 415 00:37:20,47 --> 00:37:27,34 He knows for certain. Things. That he 416 00:37:27,62 --> 00:37:29,36 gave back to you know what. 417 00:37:38,07 --> 00:37:44,89 You are going to put in these speeches. Or what we've been 418 00:37:44,90 --> 00:37:50,35 doing. What's the work around the contractor standard share trying to get it back 419 00:37:50,36 --> 00:37:56,25 and all it wants is last contractors done and then we can. Get it all straightened 420 00:37:56,26 --> 00:38:02,51 up and. Make it look presentable give. It one who hasn't been there isn't going to 421 00:38:02,52 --> 00:38:06,25 finish the. Article by take 422 00:38:06,26 --> 00:38:12,29 a look or give me you know that we please. Let it go to say we're still work wrote 423 00:38:12,30 --> 00:38:15,63 a column director's. We go I have 424 00:38:15,64 --> 00:38:21,61 a course I got some I'd like to say. I said we could fix up point base we can fix 425 00:38:22,47 --> 00:38:26,39 this is this freeze in Athol and it just tore that other side up and other we're 426 00:38:26,40 --> 00:38:30,58 just going to waste money trying to patch it I mean it's that's like crayfish mud 427 00:38:30,59 --> 00:38:32,70 under there we put Iraq in and we had 428 00:38:32,71 --> 00:38:38,53 a compact and after rain it just it's real spongy that's what we're going to get 429 00:38:39,37 --> 00:38:45,24 that other side is really care. And I worry when three hundred sixty bags of 430 00:38:45,50 --> 00:38:50,72 asphalt are ready and that's more but once this reason falls quits you know we're 431 00:38:50,73 --> 00:38:54,07 going to end up with a lot more still. And I have 432 00:38:54,08 --> 00:38:58,64 a good you know we all get on the streets yet because of that I'm waiting for after 433 00:38:58,68 --> 00:39:02,74 the woman spring we're where we get out here and check them all out and I do now 434 00:39:02,88 --> 00:39:09,82 it's going to change in another week or two. So they say one of the two hundred 435 00:39:09,83 --> 00:39:15,90 feet or point. I'd say they'll go away from 436 00:39:16,66 --> 00:39:20,25 her. Would because when we dug 437 00:39:20,26 --> 00:39:25,39 a section of their worse sections that was eight inches thick in every section that 438 00:39:25,40 --> 00:39:31,77 was two inches thick. So that's why that concrete just breaking up and this was 439 00:39:31,78 --> 00:39:36,05 really tearing it up open there were no it's going to be here. 440 00:39:40,12 --> 00:39:43,50 I mean it's just you know the streets are getting worse and this this weather and 441 00:39:43,92 --> 00:39:44,97 you know this is going to have 442 00:39:44,98 --> 00:39:51,29 a toll on so. I would suggest that you look at that one pretty happy because it's 443 00:39:51,47 --> 00:39:58,32 pretty hard traffic and it's it's road and every time we put asphalt any. Other 444 00:39:58,33 --> 00:40:05,29 companies just it's just crumbles you know turn on the way. You know it's you 445 00:40:05,30 --> 00:40:11,99 know do that but I don't really very well. We just it gets wet it's real split 446 00:40:12,84 --> 00:40:17,08 so that's going to put in this is an illusion that of the. 447 00:40:20,24 --> 00:40:27,22 Older. Know it for example. If you pour eight inches or concrete uniformly 448 00:40:27,23 --> 00:40:31,54 on adequate subgrade that's OK but if you don't have adequate subway which is going 449 00:40:31,55 --> 00:40:38,37 to sounds like what went on here and yet to date inches. But that 450 00:40:38,38 --> 00:40:44,44 is thirty forty years old. You haven't been to that you. 451 00:40:45,72 --> 00:40:52,67 Would know. It was so. But you will be my wife and I 452 00:40:52,68 --> 00:40:56,02 ask why they look at all moments it's kind of been really veggie because I love 453 00:40:56,03 --> 00:41:02,75 working on credit said you know. And on the other note what. 454 00:41:04,72 --> 00:41:11,53 Would you know it's. What I did was shocking too bad oh yeah and we're here to 455 00:41:11,54 --> 00:41:18,52 read their. Section I think we might be able to pull some that middle 456 00:41:18,53 --> 00:41:24,68 out that's bad but. What we do is we're going to waste money because the contracts 457 00:41:24,69 --> 00:41:30,24 we commit written back out anyway if we have. You we're talking about using our 458 00:41:30,25 --> 00:41:31,03 screen and doing 459 00:41:31,04 --> 00:41:35,82 a lot of the work ourselves and you're now saying it's not practical on no on up on 460 00:41:35,97 --> 00:41:39,88 one point base on point they should arrive How about sections of I think one part 461 00:41:39,89 --> 00:41:42,68 would we could we could possibly get by with that for 462 00:41:42,69 --> 00:41:48,83 a few years but I mean it depends on the rest of the winter. He told us on if you 463 00:41:48,84 --> 00:41:53,89 think it's good it's possible that we could with our own you know we get resources 464 00:41:54,55 --> 00:41:59,97 to some of the worst sections of art that can I mean I can see spending ten 465 00:41:59,98 --> 00:42:04,40 thousand or fifteen thousand dollars or grown point based drive and then the rest 466 00:42:04,41 --> 00:42:09,13 of fall. For them for contract for me to do it it has ripped that out when we did 467 00:42:09,14 --> 00:42:12,44 it anyway so. You get to room. 468 00:42:17,32 --> 00:42:22,13 On another note. Roughly doing all the figure with the calcium chloride in the sand 469 00:42:22,14 --> 00:42:23,76 where but we're at 470 00:42:23,77 --> 00:42:28,59 a twenty two thousand dollars over budget right now. I think when I was over. 471 00:42:30,86 --> 00:42:35,25 I've got about one hundred twenty five tons of salt right now that'll get me 472 00:42:35,26 --> 00:42:41,20 through depends on how you know if we get over ten or twelve it's. Too good snows 473 00:42:41,21 --> 00:42:47,29 and. We've got 474 00:42:47,30 --> 00:42:50,95 a couple questions for you when you do your snow removal downtown 475 00:42:51,69 --> 00:42:58,43 a complete block the streets all. Traffic enough to be able to impede the war. 476 00:42:59,52 --> 00:43:04,57 I know they were down in front of the Herald here. The last big snowstorm Bruce was 477 00:43:04,58 --> 00:43:10,79 on the back when the dump truck was between the candle shop and the court all that 478 00:43:10,80 --> 00:43:17,05 was Bowman's we contracted it out to bones. But when you live on the street there I 479 00:43:17,06 --> 00:43:22,31 mean they finally stopped in three or four of us cars that already were committed. 480 00:43:24,06 --> 00:43:29,14 To go through the post office or whatever saying like we slowly use them down 481 00:43:29,73 --> 00:43:34,10 whenever we talk to the bones about that they said you know that they would work 482 00:43:34,11 --> 00:43:38,54 around trying to get traffic to go through if you can block at all so I mean I 483 00:43:38,86 --> 00:43:44,56 think that's kind of what they want to do. Now I mean. God forbid it ever happens 484 00:43:44,57 --> 00:43:49,58 again we told them but I think you have done fast I know be charged by the owner of 485 00:43:49,59 --> 00:43:52,13 what. I suspect 486 00:43:52,14 --> 00:43:55,52 a big thought that's what we would want to know we would offer to close it I think 487 00:43:55,56 --> 00:44:01,31 it probably would have to go next I would go. And then these cars in 488 00:44:01,32 --> 00:44:06,84 a snow route. That are free and go around. 489 00:44:09,05 --> 00:44:15,64 Snowplow drivers. Problem to report that to the. 490 00:44:16,85 --> 00:44:21,01 Cops look them run those snow routes I know that was 491 00:44:21,02 --> 00:44:27,57 a core markets for Ethan's there the whole time and they went around it and. It's 492 00:44:27,65 --> 00:44:32,81 made us some I've ordered but we need. We can get out of trucks and go jobs I mean 493 00:44:32,92 --> 00:44:36,85 so we will play a number you know with a police or 494 00:44:37,09 --> 00:44:39,41 a meter and get together and talk and C.N.N. 495 00:44:39,42 --> 00:44:44,45 Just be a courtesy and even. Not take 496 00:44:44,46 --> 00:44:50,24 a very tough. You know we we don't have time to do that and we figured you know 497 00:44:50,25 --> 00:44:53,95 they got it years go by if they don't bother them you know it's our very own but 498 00:44:53,99 --> 00:44:58,07 you know we don't do it intentionally but you know I mean if I heard it 499 00:44:58,08 --> 00:45:01,40 a good vehicle so we're going to show one system like if you've got 500 00:45:01,41 --> 00:45:06,49 a snow or ice to get it all very. Dry your report was it would be 501 00:45:06,50 --> 00:45:11,86 a very important you know it should be all yeah all of it and told her you know it 502 00:45:11,87 --> 00:45:18,57 was in the snow removal. Story and something else all I'm going to base subdivision 503 00:45:18,58 --> 00:45:24,34 there behind Birkdale where they got that answered gravely. I don't maybe it's 504 00:45:24,35 --> 00:45:30,74 Martin. I think these may put up some stakes and. Orange and then you know around 505 00:45:30,75 --> 00:45:35,84 it that's not something that you're going to work on in the summer or more like you 506 00:45:35,85 --> 00:45:42,82 want to after that when. We have like three sinkholes that develops in that area in 507 00:45:42,83 --> 00:45:48,75 the in the drainage basin the city Oh. The 508 00:45:49,33 --> 00:45:51,76 procedure we haven't adopted 509 00:45:51,77 --> 00:45:57,07 a single repair procedure there are standards that we could the Adopt it's not 510 00:45:57,08 --> 00:46:03,34 a ten thousand dollars fix and we haven't budgeted for the repair so we've been 511 00:46:03,35 --> 00:46:07,91 trying to keep the marks to make sure that people are where there's nobody is 512 00:46:07,92 --> 00:46:12,43 certainly goes into it but you know we need to do it if we're going to fund it we 513 00:46:12,44 --> 00:46:17,82 need to come up with. It's hard to tell but you don't have deep you have to go to 514 00:46:17,83 --> 00:46:23,01 the right but but it's something of an order of magnitude just to fix the larger 515 00:46:23,13 --> 00:46:27,76 largest of the city. Some of the homeowners just sort of 516 00:46:27,77 --> 00:46:32,90 a contact through there what do you know. Greed is my property and I feel the same 517 00:46:32,90 --> 00:46:39,88 . It that we need like he said to look in the. Budget and that. It 518 00:46:40,09 --> 00:46:44,44 took down the road. It's something we need to address we have just you know we're 519 00:46:44,45 --> 00:46:49,25 having this just which we're struggling with sticks in the roads and even every ten 520 00:46:49,26 --> 00:46:52,42 thousand dollars it takes the existing goals of the road you don't fix in the 521 00:46:52,43 --> 00:46:59,35 system he said. The next thing Don He got I feel to favor for our guys without or 522 00:46:59,36 --> 00:47:03,35 with the back open we don't know how big I don't live I didn't want to have walked 523 00:47:03,36 --> 00:47:10,01 in the battle I can see the. No one no one will walk on someone. Oh thank you Lord 524 00:47:10,01 --> 00:47:15,74 . Well I did this with bits of you can't see bottoms it would seem. 525 00:47:19,34 --> 00:47:26,03 From the. Only Lonely. Heart the people are 526 00:47:26,09 --> 00:47:32,89 really very limited partly if they could go on one of their own. To form 527 00:47:33,61 --> 00:47:39,37 this. Fine line there are still going on in the community you know. 528 00:47:40,91 --> 00:47:46,67 It's really real you know where you know well actually I spend most of my time 529 00:47:46,78 --> 00:47:51,66 doing the downturn I'm trying to try to move to get it cleared just like they were 530 00:47:51,67 --> 00:47:56,88 not go with their own role in the humanist kind of you know our hearts and we want 531 00:47:56,89 --> 00:48:03,59 to begin with you know very limited in. Some way we can move in on 532 00:48:03,79 --> 00:48:09,65 this one. Going to get through. The snow the park on that street. 533 00:48:13,08 --> 00:48:13,88 They were very good 534 00:48:14,45 --> 00:48:19,95 a lot of maybe the cities that I don't know how will work on those three it's. 535 00:48:21,12 --> 00:48:26,98 About how far you can push but. If we can get agreements. 536 00:48:28,23 --> 00:48:33,13 From the property from. Property owners there if they had an alley or 537 00:48:33,14 --> 00:48:39,02 a driveway. If they care they got filled up with snow I don't know how but she 538 00:48:39,03 --> 00:48:43,67 could keep it out of the park there is how much you can push into those areas. 539 00:48:44,70 --> 00:48:45,99 Still water stays there for 540 00:48:46,00 --> 00:48:50,12 a couple weeks and might block that out that person's driveway but at least it 541 00:48:50,13 --> 00:48:51,19 would give you 542 00:48:51,20 --> 00:48:54,58 a place to go with it I don't know if that's practical or you're in or not be able 543 00:48:54,59 --> 00:48:57,62 to push it to those if they were I don't most have 544 00:48:58,31 --> 00:49:02,46 a loader or something better that way to you would be able to do with that with the 545 00:49:03,44 --> 00:49:08,49 do you know if you want to next year building you know we've been working in stone 546 00:49:08,50 --> 00:49:15,21 foundation dimension or whatever. And something to do and press them into 547 00:49:15,79 --> 00:49:22,73 we need to believe these were solved. By someone there's 548 00:49:22,74 --> 00:49:24,81 some available Yes I can make 549 00:49:24,82 --> 00:49:29,16 a phone call them all I got my six loads of blood saved if we get more on but I'm 550 00:49:29,17 --> 00:49:31,04 going to be more Still he said 551 00:49:31,05 --> 00:49:36,25 a lot of snow in March you know. Our original suppliers and I know they couldn't 552 00:49:36,26 --> 00:49:41,46 deliver timely but they would said they had some salt coming in is it possible 553 00:49:41,47 --> 00:49:47,98 they'll get that salt in no he says he. Our supplier he has no way he's going to 554 00:49:47,99 --> 00:49:53,77 get that that was the other one from Kansas City or whatever but they said that 555 00:49:53,78 --> 00:49:54,05 they've got 556 00:49:54,06 --> 00:49:59,68 a four week waiting room but they don't want to take on new clothes. I mean but I 557 00:49:59,69 --> 00:50:03,09 mean he's just going to get hired So we're going to only have so we paid two 558 00:50:03,10 --> 00:50:03,88 hundred fifty dollars 559 00:50:03,89 --> 00:50:08,50 a ton already I mean so if you could you give me permission all or some more moral 560 00:50:08,97 --> 00:50:14,89 thing I'm going to own something we need to be fair I did. The right thing. 561 00:50:17,87 --> 00:50:22,61 And work or by the last year we had money left over in the budget and you know I 562 00:50:22,62 --> 00:50:27,21 stop I was full so I didn't really have room to store it so I guess the one thing 563 00:50:27,22 --> 00:50:30,97 you look at is. What you you get. What 564 00:50:31,54 --> 00:50:39,38 a good all. Around the world. You 565 00:50:39,39 --> 00:50:46,12 tell me you know all my Pall Mall the skies of the morning OK go get. An email. 566 00:50:47,55 --> 00:50:54,32 From about thirty or. Thirty go. More than one of them. 567 00:50:55,76 --> 00:51:01,46 Quick Thank you. It. 568 00:51:06,50 --> 00:51:12,41 Made the board. Think you have my report in front of you and I think. 569 00:51:15,52 --> 00:51:20,05 Resenting the sentiments are broadly also good for theories forms of weather being 570 00:51:20,83 --> 00:51:26,94 being very treacherous and fortunately we've just been. Running some minor stuff 571 00:51:27,19 --> 00:51:32,35 every time we have the freezing falls we get the long poles where the sprinklers 572 00:51:32,36 --> 00:51:39,24 are broken and things of that nature of course are there. So. Everything has 573 00:51:39,25 --> 00:51:45,92 been fairly minor. Like to talk about that red flag warning what this 574 00:51:45,93 --> 00:51:50,20 is is even though it's water time we have we've had some snow we have we've had 575 00:51:50,21 --> 00:51:54,00 some moisture but the weather conditions are such that even with the when the. 576 00:51:55,62 --> 00:52:01,23 Grasses will dry out on that very top layer of that gray. 577 00:52:02,41 --> 00:52:06,36 What that is with the wind in the winter and that stuff can get 578 00:52:06,37 --> 00:52:11,94 a good ignited it can travel and it can travel fast and can travel for. 579 00:52:15,01 --> 00:52:19,82 With the weather is it isn't as cold as it is it might be tough to force myself to 580 00:52:19,83 --> 00:52:21,92 put out those fire without warming your hands 581 00:52:21,93 --> 00:52:25,04 a little bit on the first but but anyway those can be 582 00:52:25,05 --> 00:52:29,57 a little bit treacherous So that's what the red flag warning is is that the weather 583 00:52:29,58 --> 00:52:36,42 could Nations. Can cause that stuff to to spread fairly rapidly so we 584 00:52:36,52 --> 00:52:43,22 urge everyone to do some caution there. In addition to the weather in 585 00:52:43,53 --> 00:52:49,03 one major response we just faded We assisted the. Apartment with the immense amount 586 00:52:49,04 --> 00:52:50,81 on the Interstate fifty five it was 587 00:52:50,82 --> 00:52:56,48 a pretty substantial. Tractor trailer and. 588 00:52:58,02 --> 00:53:01,78 It. Seriously took a team effort to find 589 00:53:01,79 --> 00:53:07,43 a far forms getting to do that and in it was seriously 590 00:53:07,47 --> 00:53:13,04 a good team effort with the response for all as far permits and in the equipment 591 00:53:13,05 --> 00:53:17,70 that we have countywide to make that happen and get him out which you wish him the 592 00:53:17,71 --> 00:53:24,46 best of luck it was still. Hardly that Tuesday Yeah 593 00:53:25,47 --> 00:53:31,44 right. So without all answering questions. I'm not. 594 00:53:33,69 --> 00:53:40,68 Really an owner on the whole. That whole and you know what. 595 00:53:41,69 --> 00:53:48,31 Is transpiring there is we wait for far more and it. Is as merged with the. 596 00:53:49,41 --> 00:53:56,41 One With The Wind or are. You not want to do it right. Why Jorge as 597 00:53:56,45 --> 00:54:03,08 the rocky ridge covered your own so basically. One group has absorbed the 598 00:54:03,39 --> 00:54:10,39 the. Quit and some people with the course for. Integrate don't know 599 00:54:10,40 --> 00:54:11,88 hold me to this but I think that is it 600 00:54:11,89 --> 00:54:17,37 a deal that. I think there was some really provided there to build another station 601 00:54:17,38 --> 00:54:24,33 in the area so if you leave it for. Another white board station own name it because 602 00:54:24,34 --> 00:54:24,58 you're not 603 00:54:24,59 --> 00:54:32,23 a white form this group NO NO NO NO NO race it basically one point. Basically 604 00:54:32,27 --> 00:54:39,17 the Lake Forest Fire Department in the lake course but over the. Did those 605 00:54:39,18 --> 00:54:44,66 legal illegal things of being need to do to the Joan Walsh to focusing into long 606 00:54:44,67 --> 00:54:49,21 they're going to be only one of the jurisdiction from what I have and it would be 607 00:54:49,22 --> 00:54:55,99 just another house for one. Of them and. You know why 608 00:54:56,00 --> 00:54:59,68 your house yes right but often to get help you had to be deep in to be an 609 00:54:59,69 --> 00:55:00,19 additional. 610 00:55:06,97 --> 00:55:10,43 Thanks.

M.W. 630 00:57:26,22 --> 00:57:32,77 On I think the burden now sits on the steps to make sure that we publicize the snow 631 00:57:32,78 --> 00:57:37,55 routes before the snow season hits and we continue to publicize them during the 632 00:57:37,56 --> 00:57:41,51 snow season so that people are aware that they shouldn't be parking their cars in 633 00:57:41,52 --> 00:57:43,09 the streets during 634 00:57:43,10 --> 00:57:49,49 a good weather and frankly until this year really right maybe she was going to or 635 00:57:49,50 --> 00:57:56,40 in the palace for the most of all.

And we put 641 00:58:20,92 --> 00:58:27,76 some caution should things out of the way she'll start with. Them but ultimately 642 00:58:28,11 --> 00:58:32,91 it's some point you have to make the decision when you're going to. To remove it 643 00:58:32,92 --> 00:58:35,63 without the permission of the property owner and that's difficult I mean nobody 644 00:58:35,64 --> 00:58:41,76 wants to do that. It's down some just to seven shows no. 645 00:58:43,35 --> 00:58:48,53 Need to have.

Your 658 00:59:54,28 --> 01:00:01,21 real. Life threatening. Face which is happening but you 659 01:00:01,25 --> 01:00:02,31 won't need to do this for 660 01:00:02,32 --> 01:00:07,88 a regular part of the law no matter Jenelle and your nearest and zero one zero 661 01:00:07,89 --> 01:00:12,69 seven zero three The Lakers change all right first but you're going to. 662 01:00:14,67 --> 01:00:21,51 Tell Anyway I have just one question but I want to say the OK Basically my my 663 01:00:21,52 --> 01:00:26,42 situation and I'm pretty sure everybody here is aware of why I am here and it 664 01:00:26,43 --> 01:00:32,39 sounds like maybe I should have been here last last meeting. But I was unable to 665 01:00:32,40 --> 01:00:35,26 towns basically Jerry and I we own 666 01:00:35,27 --> 01:00:41,89 a few buildings and some houses in St Genevieve now. We own houses and buildings 667 01:00:41,90 --> 01:00:46,11 in several locations a bit we don't want a few here in town not 668 01:00:46,12 --> 01:00:52,23 a whole bunch but if you. Are goal was to kind of do our part 669 01:00:52,96 --> 01:00:57,64 kind of fix up the city take some abandoned places make them nice enough that 670 01:00:57,65 --> 01:01:02,09 people want to live in maybe want to rent from us you know and here turn turn 671 01:01:02,10 --> 01:01:08,99 a profit because we're not going to for free we have. In turn we go out we solicit 672 01:01:09,00 --> 01:01:13,26 business we bring people into town because I understand we need tax revenue 673 01:01:13,27 --> 01:01:14,40 obviously point base needs 674 01:01:14,41 --> 01:01:21,30 a new. Partner we need to be us but every time we send people 675 01:01:21,31 --> 01:01:25,94 down there every time though at least two times I know for certain and this is 676 01:01:25,95 --> 01:01:30,14 probably happened several times before that we're just not aware of at least the 677 01:01:30,15 --> 01:01:35,63 last people down to City Hall to get approval to set their business up in the sand 678 01:01:35,64 --> 01:01:42,12 they've been run off now my problem is this. This is money directly in the 679 01:01:42,13 --> 01:01:47,66 pocket this is money of the city's potential tax revenue you know if it's not 680 01:01:47,67 --> 01:01:52,44 important enough you guys are bring this let these businesses set up and we'll quit 681 01:01:52,44 --> 01:01:58,70 . We tried. To. Bring new businesses into town. 682 01:02:00,25 --> 01:02:06,58 Point in case we're seeing this gentleman down here seven eight nine we've shared. 683 01:02:08,30 --> 01:02:15,18 I'm sure. I'm starting 684 01:02:15,19 --> 01:02:19,51 small. Company. To manufacture 685 01:02:19,52 --> 01:02:25,70 a vehicle say they go in your console between the seats I took. 686 01:02:27,57 --> 01:02:33,94 Three days ago in Jefferson County last two months they've broken into one hundred 687 01:02:33,95 --> 01:02:35,88 five weapons that's 688 01:02:35,89 --> 01:02:42,88 a serious thing. It's one million two hundred thousand snatch 689 01:02:42,89 --> 01:02:43,61 and grabs 690 01:02:43,88 --> 01:02:50,97 a great steel one hundred billion dollars in losses there. I 691 01:02:50,98 --> 01:02:56,61 bought about forty thousand dollars worth of equipment. To put into 692 01:02:56,62 --> 01:03:03,56 a facility I came down to your place I think the lady's name. Came down and spoke 693 01:03:03,57 --> 01:03:07,90 with her and she says well I don't think that's we're going to have to get 694 01:03:08,13 --> 01:03:13,45 a study and then she said I said why would that be because what is do is 695 01:03:13,46 --> 01:03:15,42 a commercial zone so she says this is on 696 01:03:15,43 --> 01:03:21,74 a Tuesday she would get back with me yet that afternoon I called back the following 697 01:03:22,38 --> 01:03:26,49 Wednesday or Thursday I think I spoke with this young lady and told her at this 698 01:03:26,50 --> 01:03:32,22 point I no longer needed. Her assistance because I'm not going to set up and saying 699 01:03:32,23 --> 01:03:38,04 General I went to St Louis and I talked to Mayor Slay. 700 01:03:39,89 --> 01:03:46,47 A little I get to talk to nine different opportunities that have and. 701 01:03:47,57 --> 01:03:50,57 I don't know if you've got an incubator here or not if you do nobody said anything 702 01:03:50,58 --> 01:03:50,95 it will be 703 01:03:50,96 --> 01:03:57,73 a good idea seventy to eighty percent. Of employment in this country is small 704 01:03:57,74 --> 01:04:03,57 business fifty or less employees. You know that may not seem like 705 01:04:03,58 --> 01:04:05,50 a lot when you put them together it becomes 706 01:04:05,51 --> 01:04:12,30 a lot of money my job I'm looking at employing six to ten people by the end of the 707 01:04:12,31 --> 01:04:18,67 next twelve months at an income of thirty to forty thousand dollars apiece which I 708 01:04:18,68 --> 01:04:19,54 think is probably get 709 01:04:19,55 --> 01:04:24,91 a little higher than the average new job you're starting this in this community I'm 710 01:04:24,92 --> 01:04:29,99 just sharing with you from the outside This is how I see it. And I'm not too sure 711 01:04:30,00 --> 01:04:35,39 you might not see other people see in same way. I've been living here fourteen 712 01:04:35,40 --> 01:04:42,04 years I came from Chesterfield. And I just think. You're missing the 713 01:04:42,05 --> 01:04:47,57 boat if somebody didn't wake up and try to communicate effectively you're not going 714 01:04:47,58 --> 01:04:53,82 to get five hundred people jobs the skill sets not here. 715 01:04:55,45 --> 01:05:00,14 But you can get a lot of folks that could be forty or fifty people over 716 01:05:00,15 --> 01:05:01,26 a period of time it's 717 01:05:01,27 --> 01:05:06,03 a lot better for you and if you get the big ones and they walk out but that's all 718 01:05:06,04 --> 01:05:12,05 I'm going to say I'm sorry did I It was really personal to me I'm sorry to say that 719 01:05:12,06 --> 01:05:16,72 but it really worked because I'm investing probably one hundred thousand dollars to 720 01:05:16,73 --> 01:05:21,96 make something happen. And all I need somebody to work with me on it I want to get 721 01:05:21,97 --> 01:05:22,06 in 722 01:05:22,07 --> 01:05:32,39 a building. And Fortune one in city it's. OK Thank you.
